#2Whilst it seems good to break up this market, it also was rather interesting to see Apple whinge about monopolist market behaviour. Pot calling the kettle black; how very hypocritical.

The iPhone app-approval market leaps to mind.
If you mean Apple owns and runs an App Store, then yes, but that’s not a monopoly. It’s just a store that they control. Would you say that their physical stores are a monopoly that they abuse by not selling samsung phones?

Regardless, their behaviour with their own Dev relations is very much like what they're accusing Qualcomm of.

They also refuse to permit their customers to run apps not approved by Apple on the phones they have bought. That's the monopoly.
